On Tues. Sept. 15th, there will be a screening of the documentary, Dishonored, which will be shown at 7 pm at the Hamline Midway Branch Library located at 1558 W. Minnehaha Avenue, St. Paul, MN. A discussion hosted by advocates for women's rights will follow the screening.

In June 2002, a dispute between clans in rural Pakistan was judged by a local tribal council, and when Mukhtar Mai pleaded on her family’s behalf, the local imam consented to her punishment of rape as honor-revenge. Her demand for justice received media coverage worldwide, eventually leading to changes in the Pakistani legal system.

I doubt that I'll be able to drive up to the Twin Cities to attend this event, but I encourage all who can attend to do so.

About Abyss2hope

Abyss2hope is centered on date rape, but isn't limited to discussing crimes which can be described this way since the causes and attitudes related to date rape are interconnected with domestic violence and other types of sexual violence.
